You will be amazed to know that he is not the only male royal without a wedding band. Other than him, his grandfather, Prince Philip who has been married to the queen for 69 years, also doesn’t wear a ring and if you see photo timeline of their marriage, you will notice that he hasn’t for many years. Surprised? Well, don’t be, because men did not wear rings earlier, it was only during World War II that they started wearing rings as a reminder of their family back at home, while they were away fighting for their respective countries. It’s the women who have been wearing rings since the Egyptian times.

Style. The style also adds to the beauty of the ring. There is a range of styles to choose from. You can choose a vintage style ring that expresses your cultural heritage or chunky, modern ring with intricate designs. If you’ve always loved to stand out in the crowd, opt for an unusual style wedding band. It could be a Goth band, horseshoe styled bands, dolphin rings and dragon bands.

Selecting a diamond or gemstone can seem to be steeped in confusion, but time invested on understanding the options will provide you with assurance and satisfaction you have made the right choice. What do you need to discuss with your chosen jeweller? Carat: the Carat weight is determined by the mass of a diamond. This corresponds to price but increases as larger diamonds are more desirable and less common. Cut: accomplished craftsmen shape and polish diamonds with angles. The cut of a diamond is a precise mathematical equation and should not be confused with the shape of any gemstone.
